Not ready to push publish? No problem. The Save to Draft feature allows you to develop your content securely without publishing right away. When you’re ready, you can publish your draft or schedule your post to go live at a specific time.
These tools help you manage your blog more efficiently, as they allow you to polish your content over time, while also maintaining a consistent posting schedule.
Note:
We recommend that you keep your draft content on one browser tab when working on your computer. Writing across multiple tabs can lead to multiple versions of your draft and content being overwritten.
